I'd like to see an expansion where the old gods are at war with the "new" gods of Azeroth. Would be an interesting concept, then we find out the "gods" aren't really gods, just technologically more advanced.

'New gods'? Are you talking about the titans? Cause that's kinda what has been going on for the last, I dunn- since vanilla.

Unlikely to happen. Even though the Old Gods would be elated for us to end both the Burning Legion and (for whatever reason) the titans, they would still endeavour to have us prostate before them or die and maybe even both.

I don't think it's the finished logo. Even the title of the video said Flame FX Test or something, so probably only testing different flame effects to use with the trailer/logo.

It was "leaked" many months ago, so they still had loooots of time to finish it up before 5.5 actually is announced.

What makes this obviously fake is that they wouldn't be uploading test shots to the official youtube channel. The official youtube channel isn't going to be operated by the DVD Production Department, which is the team responsible for designing these trailers. It's not like everyone at Blizzard is just using that channel to upload stuff. Dumb.

If they were to use youtube at all, the vfx artists would probably be using their own private channels. Far more likely, however, is that they'd just use the company's internal FTP, since the Blizzard campus has its own private network. Uploading a hi-resolution, professional VFX test shot to youtube is counter-intuitive in the first place.

Yeah that's the thing, we'd have to reluctantly work together to end a common threat.. then we'd have to defeat the Old Gods themselves as they try to reclaim absolute power over Azeroth. I don't think it will happen either but it might be interesting.

P.S. I think you mean prostrate :]

Is there going to be patch 5.5?? I thought 5.4 is the last content patch for this expansion...

The last -raid-, not content patch.

They've said there will be another patch. Not necessarily 5.5, but they've said there will be another patch in some manner.

Q: Some players have wondered if there will be any visual proof of the end of the war after 5.4. With the advancements made in phasing, is there any chance level 90 players could see areas claimed by the Horde in Cataclysm reclaimed by the Alliance?
A: We don't have plans right now to express that in the world in 5.4 -- there's an event that's going to be taking place between 5.4 and the next expansion, assuming there is one of course. (laughs)

Q: Expansion or event?
A:There will be an event between now and then.(laughs) So players will have to wait and see how that shakes out.

Q: Will we see a patch 5.5 before the expansion is over?
A: I don't know that it will be numbered that specifically, but yes, there will be something between now, and an expansion, should an expansion happen.
